Dual monitors is working on my Mac rig. Make sure that in addition to enabling the checkbox for "Split large screens in two" under the general settings that you also click the second monitor icon in the window as well. Then, just restart Carrara and you'll be good to go.

Dual Monitor is working on my PC fine too. Even with different Monitors: 2560x 1440 on the left and 1280 x 1024 on the right.

Live Long and Prosper

I had an issue a while back where the primary display in the monitor control panel did not match the position in Carrara preferences for some reason.

From your screenshot, it appears Carrara is expecting the primary display as the left display. If you check your monitor control panel, be sure the the primary monitor is also configured as the left display.

Note that I am NOT referring to the physical location of the monitor.

If the primary monitor is also on the left in the control panel, then try switching it to the right and reopen Carrara and check the Prefs to see if anything has changed.

I think I had to reinstall the the display drivers when this got screwed up on my system.

Prime is on left... everythings the same as it always was with Carrara.. funny as I've been using dual monitors with the software since it was able to do it. Worked just fine on this computer under Carrara 7/MacOSX 10.6
